Tool box drawers

I don’t have any suggestions other than a bought one. I have used laminex strips glued to the runners but would not use them on anything decent.

Believe it or not, I am going to recommend Home Depot. Last project I did that needed drawer slides (my lathe table) I found 14” ball-bearing slides, good for 100 lbs at about $12 a pair. They worked well for me.

If you’ve never used the undermount slides by Blum,et. al. – they
are a revelation… they aren’t as robust as the heaviest side-mount
slides though. In general I have used ones rated at 100 lbs. per
slide. One advantage is that because the bearings and mechanism
are beneath the drawer there is little chance of grime getting in the
works… which is a problem with side mount slides.

You can also get heavier-than normal side-mount slides. They are ugly
and take up the whole side of a kitchen drawer, but there is a
mechanical advantage because the mounts are so wide.

Also, regular heavy-duty side mount slides are plenty strong. For
strength and economy they are hard to beat. I haven’t bought any
in awhile. They can be got cheaply from Woodworkers Supply or
your local wholesale cabinet fittings supplier.

I agree withEE>.. ihave bought this type of slide from HD for probably lwss than rockler would charge for shipping and been totally satisified and if your pockets aren’t any deeper than most of us its a good choice. they usually have a good selection of lengths etc rt

The problem with the under mount is the loss of drawer space. A lot of space is taken up with hardware under the drawers.

I’m using side mount ball bearing slides for the kitchen that I’m building for my wife.
